SUPERmodel Ashley Graham
THE current superstar among plus size models is the American Ashley Graham, 29. The 1.75 m tall brunette impresses with a voluptuous body, a sensual charisma and plenty of erotic self-confidence - despite a dress size 44. Measuring 97-76-116, she was even the first plus size model to make it onto the cover of "Sports Illustrated" - an accolade in the fashion scene and a positive signal for all women and girls.
Made in Germany - Angelina Kirsch
But Germany also has a curvy beauty to offer: Angelina Kirsch, 27, a blonde from Hamburg who floats across international catwalks with measurements of 105-76-113 and is the new dream woman in the fantasies of many men - and women ;-) Like Ashley Graham, the German is committed to finally banishing body shaming and unhealthy body worship from the fashion industry and also from people's minds . Self-confidence and a positive body image should not be linked to BMI.
Discussion about curves
But despite the new XL supermodels, slim to skinny women are still considered the ideal of beauty by many people. Even trailblazers like Ashley Graham and Angelina Kirsch have done little to change this. However, acceptance of bodies that deviate from the usual ideal can be promoted by successful plus-size models. The discussion about (excess) weight will be more open if authentic role models stand up for tolerance and provide new perspectives on our society, which is fixated on outward appearances. Two other such role models are plus-size model Hayley Hasselhoff, David Hasselhoff's daughter, who is currently enjoying a stellar career, and XXXL model Tess Holliday, who weighs 120 kilos at a height of 1.65 m and poses radiantly in front of the camera in underwear or swimwear. Singer Beth Ditto also shows time and again that you can be confident, charismatic and fashionable beyond 90-60-90.
Plus size lingerie
Models with feminine shapes are conquering the media world and lingerie manufacturers are slowly realizing that curvy women don't want to hide. The demand for sexy lingerie is increasing. More and more stores - including ORION - are therefore offering hot lingerie in large sizes. But anyone who thinks that curvy women would only reach for lingerie in a full-length design is very much mistaken. Even in large sizes, classic sex lingerie such as skimpy suspender sets, skin-tight dresses and breast and crotchless pieces are in high demand and women draw their sexual self-confidence from seductive outfits. After all, you want to show off what you've got and men who like voluptuous shapes will love the sight of their loved ones in body-hugging, erotic lingerie.
